Greatest regret: I didn’t get to know my Grandmother better before she passed away.

Quality you most like in a woman? Strength and tenacity

What is your idea of perfect happiness? Spending time with friends and family over a cup of coffee . . . preferably at the beach.

If you could meet anyone in the world who would it be and what would you say to them? When I was six years old I was abducted off the street by a stranger. A woman saw what was happening from her upstairs window and yelled at the man to let me go. If I were to ever find her, I would tell her ‘thank you’ for saving my life.

What do you consider the most overrated virtue? Competitiveness, if it means trampling over other’s rights in order to win. Sometimes, it is more virtuous to step aside for the good of another than to win.

What is your greatest achievement? Overcoming the obstacles I have faced thus far in my life.
